7-Eleven®, the one who brought America free Slurpee® drinks on 7-ELEVEN Day, followed by several days of free snacks and drinks during 7Rewards™ Week, is launching a new offer in August – FREEkends™. That's short for FREE Weekends, and the offer is just that. Added bonus, August has five weekends this year.

7-Eleven will launch its FREEkend offers August 1st for 7Rewards members using the 7-Eleven mobile app. That weekend's free offer will appear in the "Scan and Save" section of the app at noon Central Daylight Time (CDT) every Saturday and Sunday in August. To redeem, customers present the featured item along with their 7-Eleven app to be scanned at the register.

No purchase is necessary, and offers are good while supplies last at participating 7-Eleven stores.

The weekly FREEkend freebies are:

· Aug 1-2, medium Fanta® Slurpee® drink

· Aug. 8-9, Juicy Fruit® Starburst® gum

· Aug. 15-16, medium Fanta® Slurpee® drink

Registered 7Rewards members will receive emails and SMS text messages notifying them of that week's offer. The offer also will appear on 7-Eleven.com.

Only one offer can be redeemed per day and will disappear from the member's "Scan and Save" section in the app once used.

If a FREEkend offer is redeemed on Saturday, the offer will be removed from the app until Sunday at noon CDT, when it will reappear on the app. During each day's offer, the app will show the percentage of free items still available in stores.

"Weekends are a time when people have more time to travel and have fun with friends and family," said Laura Gordon, vice president of Marketing and Brand Innovation. "FREEkends celebrates the weekend with a free mobile offer that goes wherever the fun is, and adds to it."

In what may become the largest-ever food sampling event, on July 21 Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar® will offer FREE sampler plates of its popular new Sriracha Shrimp and Churro S’Mores appetizers to guests.

Applebee’s anticipates serving about two million plates of Sriracha Shrimp and Churro S’Mores during “Taste The Change Day” at nearly 2,000 restaurants across the country.

The offer is available to dine-in guests all day, with the option of adding other new appetizers at low sampler prices.

To celebrate its 35th year, the nation’s leading casual dining chain is marking the occasion by showcasing its new and improved menu of craveable bar-and-grill classics. Applebee’s team of executive chefs has taken bar-and-grill classics to new culinary heights by updating them with premium ingredients and signature Applebee’s twists.

New appetizers and sandwiches won rave reviews during a “Taste The Change Fest” event in Times Square in May, where more than 2,000 consumers enjoyed sneak previews of the new items and A-list entertainment that was streamed live across the country via Periscope.

“We put our new items to the test in New York, and people who hadn’t tried us in awhile were blown away at how we’ve improved our food,” said Applebee’s President Steve Layt. “Now we’re giving guests around the country the same sampling opportunity, and we’re confident they will agree: Our new food and drinks are fantastic.”

The evolution of the Applebee’s menu began with the introduction of All-In Burgers® in late 2014, and has continued with the 2015 launch of The Pub Diet™, our lineup of bar-and-grill favorites made a little better for you, 11 new appetizers and several new, over-the-top items – including the stunning Triple Hog Dare Ya™ sandwich, which is stacked high with pulled pork, Black Forest ham and thick-sliced bacon, crispy onions and melted cheddar cheese on a Ciabatta bun.

Two popular new items will be featured at the July 21 free sampling event. The Sriracha Shrimp features quality shrimp, fried with Applebee’s special coating, which provides a light, flaky crunch, then tossed in a Sriracha Chile Lime sauce. New Churro S’Mores are twisted cinnamon churro twists, served with a warm marshmallow and chocolate dip.

But the change at Applebee’s extends beyond the menu and into nearly all facets of the restaurant and its operations. In recent years, franchisees across the country have renovated nearly all Applebee’s restaurants nationwide, and the brand has evolved the look and flavor of its logo, television commercials, Web site, mobile app and more.

The free sampling offer will be available at nearly all Applebee’s locations nationwide on July 21.

Legal Stuff:
Valid at participating locations on 7/21/15 only. Dine in only. Minimum one Sampler per party. Additional Samplers may be provided depending on party size. Selection of sampler(s) provided may vary. No substitutions. See participating restaurant for details.
